The City of Concord will begin refurbishing older sewer mains within the City beginning Tuesday, January 25, 2010.
The project is expected to take eight weeks and will involve a total of 10,889 feet of pipe in various locations.
The refurbishing project involves relining old pipes with a polyurethane resin material. This process allows the pipes to be upgraded without digging up roadways and adjacent properties. This method is cheaper than replacing the old mains and causes minimum disturbance to traffic and nearby homeowners/ businesses.
Citizens who will be affected by the project will be provided information at least 24 hours prior to the start of the project through the distribution of door hangars and/or the Connect CTY calling system. Residents will be asked to limit their water use during the project.
The upcoming date and area is scheduled: January 25, 2010 - Eastover Drive, Hillcrest Drive, Parkview Drive, Tournament Drive, Boger Court, Ring Street .
If you need more information bout the project, call Aaron Cook with the Wastewater Resources at 704-920-5353.
